x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

Answer: its yes
Step-by-step explanation:
21 3/16...as a decimal
the 21 is a whole number and goes to the left of the decimal....and the fraction 3/16 goes to the right of the decimal.
3/16 = 0.1875....now add ur 21 and u get 21.1875 inches wide
2 3/8....as a decimal
3/8 = 0.375....now put ur 2 in there and it becomes 2.375 inches thick
X divided by three equals nine SO to find x you would multiply three times nine
